out on a rainy day

So, we have had a pretty fun day today. It's raining outside, but that didn't stop the boys from wanting to go out. I tried to pick the least wet time (which of course quickly turned into the hardest it had rained all day), and we went out and jumped in puddles.

Dec jumped right in


And here he is saying "cheese!"

Pickle did his share of jumping too, but I didn't get any pictures because he can't jump by himself yet. Nevertheless, here he is in his rain gear

And here is Dec when he really got into it

Other than that, we have been doing loads of fun stuff, but I hardly have any pictures! We went to Thanksgiving at mom and dads, and the food was great! Mom has left for Kenya. I will have to ask her if it's okay to publish the pictures she sent. She is amazing.
We have also done a lot of hanging around the house. We have all been playing with Declan's pretend tool set, and tried on his saftey goggles.

Declan

Me
And Pickle

Well, I didn't actually get any pictures of him wearing them because he decided the camera was more interesting, but trust me, he did.

And I will leave you with some more of Dec-man's "cheeses." If you would like to see more, email me. I have about 3,458 pictures of Dec saying "cheese." Almost all of them are blurry.

Grandma's House and Halloween

Sorry that these are a little late, and they also don't include any pictures of Pickle's birthday party! We forgot our camera, so mom took the pictures. I have to get them from her.
We have had a fun couple of weeks though.
We went to Grandma's (the D-men's great-grandma) house, where she made us a yummy lunch. Mom helped make a salad.


Uncle Mike came over for a visit, but we didn't get a picture of his face.

D-man and Pickle had fun playing with a new toy.

They were also playing with mom.


HALLOWEEN! It was so much fun. The boys both loved the decorations.



And they looked so cute in their costumes!



The picture with dad didn't go so well :(

They were so excited to get out of the house!

D-man could hardly sit still for a picture.

Here's a close-up of Pickle though.

VACATION!!!
We were going to go to Spaghetti warehouse and COSI.
We got the spaghetti...

but COSI was closed. So we went to the park. Joe and Declan hung from a tree.

Then Declan wanted to do it by himself.

We sort of lost the camera in Cleveland and don't have many pictures. Pickle's birthday party was Saturday. We will have to get more pictures soon!
After we came home, we just spent some time hanging around the house.

And playing with Pickle's new presents.

"Pickle, where you going?"



Hope everyone is having a great week! I'll post more soon.
